The correct answer is D. are K-selected

Explanation:

In biology, the term k-selected is used to describe species in which there is high parental investment, but a low quantity of offspring. This implies in these species organisms have less offspring but invest in each new organism to guarantee survival. This reproductive strategy is the opposite of r-selected in which there is a high rate of offspring but little parental investment, this causes some individuals to survive while others die.

In the case of primates, they are k-selected because most of the species in primates including apes, gorillas, and humans have only one or two offspring each time, also, the parental investment is higher as offspring stays with parents for a longer time; at the same time, this keeps the population stable as higher parental investment guarantees most offspring survives. Thus, the primates' reproductive strategies are K-selected.

Which of the following serves as an electron carrier in cellular respiration?
GrogVix [38]

Answer;

-NAD+

Explanation;

-When glucose breaks down into ATP, a large amount of the energy is stored as electron on special molecules (the electron carriers). When an empty electron carrier accepts a pair of electrons, it is reduced; when it gives those electrons up later on, it is oxidized.

-NAD+ and FAD; also the two most common electron carriers in the body. NAD+ can accept a pair of electrons (and a hydrogen ion) to become NADH.

If red foxes were to go extinct, what would be the two most likely effects on the ecosystem
wel
Red foxes are omnivores. Their diet includes small animals such as  birds, squirrels, rabbits and mice, but also berries, grasses and insects such as crickets, caterpillars, grasshoppers and beetles. Red foxes are therefore primary as well as secondary consumers, and even apex predators. Their removal from an ecosystem would most likely reduce the predation pressure on small animals and insects, and may result in population explosions of these prey animals. This in turn may result in additional pressure on the ecosystem as these animals exceed the carrying capacity, and could lead to other plant and animal species within the food web being decimated. Basically, the balance of the ecosystem would be lost until a new equilibrium can be established.
